Had to travel out of town the day I changed my
administrator password. Now that I am home, I find I can
not recall it. What can I do?

Windows Home XP

1. As windows is loading up press F8 repeatedly until the
Windows advanced screen comes up.

2. Select safe mode (the version of windows you want to use
click XP wait until it loads the welcome screen.

3. Select Administrator and it will log you on as administrator
without a password (provided a password was not created in this
hidden account during setup).

4. Go to Start - Control Panel - User Accounts.

5. Select your name and click change the password.

Then you should be able to change the password, shut down the
computer and restart in normal mode and use the new password you just
created.

****

If you have XP Pro on your computer:-

1. At the log in screen type " ctrl-alt-delete " twice.

2. In the User Account, type Administrator

3. Leave the password blank and press enter.

(Most likely a password wasn't created in this hidden account during
setup).



If you decide to set a password it is recommended that you create a
Password Reset Disk by clicking on "Prevent a Forgotten Password"
link in the left pane. The Wizard will guide you through.

I use a local network with 2 windows 98 and a windows XP
machine. I protect one 98 machine with a password for
reading and one for writing. This does work fine with the
other 98 machine, but the XP obtains direct access, so can
read all the information, but it cannot write and does not
ask for the password. Who knows a solution?
